Doing Cambridge can be a lonely experience..very true. Of course, if you are doing it with a family member or friend it can make it a lot less isolating. But I know I felt like I was a foreigner in my own country, out of step with the general population, who were all out there eating whatever they wanted! lol!

All the more motivation to get this over with! Knowing that we can lose 30+ pounds a month if adhering to this diet should be motivation enough you would think, but the urge to eat is part of our survival. It just got all mangled up with a lot of stuff that has nothing at all to do with that. Not surprising though. As infants, we experience the unpleasant and stressful sensation of hunger and have no idea why or how to make it stop. Then someone feeds us and all the yuckies go away! Magical!!

I'm sorry your ankle has been so discouraging for so long. With as active as you like to be, it's got to be harder for you to stick with your diet since you don't have that positive outlet. But I guess now the goal has a new purpose then before. Losing this weight while healing is the smartest thing you can do to prevent future injury. Maybe if you look at this (Cambridge) as a prescribed part of your healing and therapy it will stop you before making a bad choice. Like when you are told not to eat before surgery. It can be your medicine to get you back on the dance floor!
